That article reads like one long logical fallacy and a whole heap of handwaving.<p>It contrasts cathedral style development practices against blockchain, neatly attributing open-source, collaborative development solely to blockchain technologies.<p>The very first section makes no sense - in the <i>first</i> era of the internet, decentralised protocols allowed companies like yahoo and google to win out while centralised entities like AOL diminished? So presumably AOL rose to prominence in era zero? And everything before that was in era negative one?<p>There are so many bizarre, unevidenced claims thrown in... This is pure evangelism.
